BrightID Customer Insights

1. Must the two social recovery connections use the same link at the same time or different link at the same time? Also after moving to the next stage,it keeps rolling without giving space to enter passwordIf you create an account and do not setup recovery connections you cannot get your account back.

2. It's completely counter intuitive and waste your time for trying to attend meetings on discord in the middle of the night and play stupid games.Terrible buggy application which claims they have p2p verification, but in practice it doesn't work.

3. Its a good app for identity verification, however,the recovery process is tedious and the rules are not known.

4. This forces you to create a new account which defeats the purpose of the app.

5. No support options for account related issues.

6. Great idea, terrible implementation.The app is not at all user friendly.

7. It takes ages.. for verification process.

8. Tried by taking a photo or loading one from gallery.

9. In dark mode the confirmation check mark is literally invisibleVery bad experience.

10. No way to go forwatd, all I can see are the scale and rotate buttons.

11. Just go to their discord and see how many people are completely lost.
